Amelia Island Plantation
Amelia Island, Florida

This carefully preserved island landmark earned national acclaim as

a luxury resort while building a community of discerning residents.

Description

Amelia Island Plantation is "Florida's natural island destination," featuring a 1,350-acre beach resort, superior villa accommodations, fun family resort activities and full meeting facilities. The resort community was recently acquired by Omni Hotels and its official new name is Omni Amelia Island Plantation.

With ocean to the east, and the Intracoastal to the west, the area is enveloped in beauty.

One of the first and most well-known of America's top golf and waterfront resort communities, Omni Amelia Island Plantation satisfies all your family activity needs with private 3.5 mile beach, championship golf by Pete Dye, Tom Fazio and Bobby Weed, tennis, horseback riding, fitness center, restaurants and more.

Currently, while the property is under a major renovation, guests are invited to stay at the "Villas of Amelia Island Plantation," which features ocean- and resort-view hotel rooms and one-, two- and three-bedroom villas.

Residents and guests stay in luxury homes, villas, and condos.

Golf
Golf has long been a major attraction at Amelia Island Plantation which offers three championship golf courses which have been certified by Audubon International as courses that conserve and restore natural ecosystems.

Amelia Island Plantation features three championship courses.

Oak Marsh, designed by Pete Dye and Ocean Links designed Bobby Weed, is a 36-hole configuration, and Long Point, Tom Fazio's creation, is an 18-hole layout that weaves its way through primal marshlands and towering sand dunes on the Atlantic.

The Oak Marsh course winds through marsh and dunes.

Resort guests, club members, amenity card and pass holders have full access to Ocean Links Golf Course, the recently renovated Golf Pro Shop and Marsh View Bar & Grill, as well as the resort Golf Academy.

Long Point, a private-members course, is accessible for play based upon availability and additional fees.

Professional instruction is provided by Cliff Drysdale Tennis, which offers group tennis clinics and personal lessons in a distinctive setting, while catering to all ages, every level of play and groups of all sizes. Scott Colebourne is the Director of Tennis.

Spa
The Spa at Omni Amelia Island Plantation is run by experienced professionals who specialize in a number of relaxing and beneficial services such as hot stone massages, the signature Plantation Blossom Ritual, anti-aging facials, couples massages and teen and little spa services. Also, yoga classes are offered in the tree house.

Throughout its duration the hotel pool and beach club will be closed. Villa guests have full access to 3.5 miles of beach, championship golf, tennis, nature center, Amelia's Wheels, resort restaurants, The Dunes Club pool and health & fitness center.
